Fees
A marketplace like Nexus Market makes money through fees, and knowing where they come from helps you read the total cost of an order.
Where the fees are
- Market fee. A percentage taken from each completed order. It is applied when the order settles, and it is why the total you pay is a bit more than the listed price.
- Withdrawal fee. A flat or small fee when you move coins out of the market to an external address.
- Shipping. Set by the vendor, not the market. It is part of the order cost but is the vendor's charge, not a market fee.
Reading the total
When you look at an order, the number that matters is the total after the market fee and shipping, not the listed price alone. A vendor with a slightly higher price but a lower fee can end up cheaper than one that looks cheaper on the list. Do the math on the total before you decide. The sellers page covers how to compare vendors on the full cost, not just the sticker price.
